Sorry, I needed to delete this post.

This seems like a really good idea for learning programming and you help others in the process. Maybe I'll do that when I have time to learn it properly lol.

I haven't had time to learn to code...

Lol it's okay. Have everything. It's not mine!

Thank you, Adam!

The help I have received from this forum is amazing. Can I ask everyone your motivation for helping people on here? Is it purely out of satisfaction from helping people?

Thanks for the extra information!

And no, I haven't changed all my gets to fgets, but it seems to work okay for now, so I will go back to that later (need to look up how fgets works first).

I...

char *ptr;
strchr((const char*)asearch,'\n');
ptr[0] = '\0';



This does work, but how would you code it so that it does not include 'const char*' (as zac7 said it would happen automatically)....

Thank you, this worked!!! :D

Now I know more about strings, and with all the info provided in this thread, I should be able to complete the program easily.

Thank you for your replies.

I have have done my best to make these corrections. I have turned the 'asearch' variable into:




char asearch[15]

I have changed the code for searching an array to:




{

printf("Search for which song??: \n\n");
...

Thank you, jeffcob!

You explained this really well. I have heard of a couple of things (such as strcmp()) and have a book for my module which will explain all this. I was not aware that you would...

Hello! I have been spending the last 3 days trying to work out why my program crashes after trying to search an array.

This happens after using the switch to get to 'Manage>Search Track'. It will...

strcmp(songs[i], aremove)==0;



And I am told 'incompatible type for argument 1 of 'strcmp'.

FYI, this is the declaration of 'aremove' (other variables have been deleted to make this shorter).

I didn't realise 'remove' is a standard function, so have renamed it to 'aremove'. I called it that because once I get this working, I want to try change it so that it can remove a song in the...

Hello!

I am trying to create a loop that searches a struct array for the value of 'remove' (which is a char).

Struct:




typedef struct

Thank you! This worked. I am really grateful :D

Thanks, quzah, but what are you referring to with 'foo'?

I have tried entering those 'printf's in different way, but am unable to get them to work. I am very new to programming, so sorry if this...

I have yet another question!

How would you display the contents of struct?




typedef struct
{
char track[20];

Finally got the code to work!

For some reason I had made a duplicate of a 'for()' and I'm not sure what else was done to fix it. A friend fixed it and he did it too quickly!

Thank you all for...

Thanks all to your replies. I tried all these, but could not sort the problem out -probably because I don't have much programming experience and didn't do it properly.

However, the code on its own...

Thank you, ZuK. The code stopped that problem. It now says: syntax error before ']' token.

I am assuming that that is because you said I would have to define the array of song before I use it,...

Trying to scanf to a struct, but when compiling, I am given: 'request for member 'track' in something not a structure or union.

I have looked around on the internet and one suggestion was to...

Thank you, iMalc!. I'll look into this. We haven't even learnt about buffering yet, but I have a rough idea, so this will be useful when I've looked into it!

Thank you SO much Salem! This makes more sense than the rubbish I wrote lol.

The purpose of this code is to let the user enter a name of a song into a string, which can then be buffered and played into a program called 'mplayer'.




#include <stdio.h>
#include...

Thank you so much! This works :D I'll experiment with it get to understand it, but it helps to understand how to do something when it's done first.

I am really grateful!!!
